It was great. I know there was a bit of carnage but he would have stayed on and who knows what would have happened. . We tried to qualify him for Aintree, to give Josh a spin over the National fences, but it didn’t work out. This is a good second best. . He’s had good form and came up against a good horse the last day (Asian Master). . He was a decent horse back in the day for Christian Williams and Mark Scott. They gave him to us to let Josh get a lot of experience on him and it’s great. . Josh has only had a few rides on the track and he’s ridden a bumper winner.  John Paul Berry, trainer
